Someone who post over-zealous, exaggerated claims and comments on an internet stock marketr message board to influence price changes in certain stocks. The comments made by pumptards generally have little or no basis in fact.

An overly optimistic stock market investor somewhat out-of-touch with reality. One who spreads false rumors with the intention of creating interest in a stock therefore increasing demand and a higher price. The pumptard sells the stock after it has appreciated and therefore benifits from the higher price. Pumptards usually spread their dubious information via online message boards.
